    1. I like money.
    2. I like working for myself.
    3. I have a very big cooler, an beer an beverages don't grow on trees!
    4. I like breaking ****.
    5. I like breaking ****
    6. see 3.
    7. See 4 & 5.
    8. See 3, 4 and 5.
    9. It's fun.
    10. It lets me do fun things like...take the wife to Disney, or wherever she decides we're going.
    11. It's cool being "that" guy at a social function an when they ask what you do you can say..."I break **** for a living." an it's true! An a good thing.
    12. I was going to put another one here but hell...thats to much work, see 3, 4, 5,..ah screw it..just reread the list.

    Good luck with your goal. Always good to have goals. I'm betting the trip well be worth all the hard work.

    I love to scrap.i go to auctions trying to find that goldmine most of the time its just ferrous. People look at scrappers as being beneath them.just imagine the country without scrappers.its hard work but if you enjoy it that helps.and it helps pay the bills.
